I had a chance to go out and get this game recently and since the reviews gave it a good score and a lot of people liked the first one i thought i'd give it a chance. That and if it wasn't any good i'd just say it was defective and return it :-D. Anyway i'll make this review pretty cut and dry considering it's very late and i'm about to fall asleep on my keyboard. The graphics are actually quiet good for an RTS, though there are some problems with some of the detail but as long as you dont zoom in too much you will be very impressed. The sound is VERY good i was astonished at how good the sound was because the explosions the guns firing everything sounds wonderful. The gameplay in the game could have been improved a bit because the scrolling through the map is annoying with the mouse. I keep finding myself scrolling with the arrows and moving units with the mouse. Now the Value of this game took a blow because the game tends to take a long time to play because of the time it takes to call out your reinforcements and receive them and then place them where you want. Though the maps are real specific in how to win against other players. If you're in for a challenge and love games that take lots of strategy and time then this is the game for you. This is a game that takes the graphic quality and strategy part of C&C: Generals but uses its own twist on things with the sides. So go get it for crying out loud and stop listening to me.
